Dataset links are not working anymore.

[Shahnawax]

When trying to download the dataset it is downloading the webpage and not the data zip or tgz files.

Can you please fix the data links?

Thank you.

Awesome 😎 Here's a Python script that smartly handles URL redirects and tries to download the actual dataset file even if the original link points to an HTML page:

import requests
import os

def download_dataset(url, output_filename=None):
try:
print(f"🔗 Requesting URL: {url}")
response = requests.get(url, allow_redirects=True, stream=True)

    # Detect if the response is an HTML page
    content_type = response.headers.get('Content-Type', '')
    if 'text/html' in content_type:
        print("⚠️ Received HTML instead of dataset. The link may be incorrect or redirecting to a landing page.")
        return

    # Auto-assign filename if not provided
    if not output_filename:
        output_filename = url.split("/")[-1]
        if '?' in output_filename:
            output_filename = output_filename.split('?')[0]

    # Save to disk
    with open(output_filename, 'wb') as f:
        for chunk in response.iter_content(chunk_size=8192):
            if chunk:
                f.write(chunk)

    print(f"✅ Download complete: {output_filename}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"❌ Error: {e}")

🔄 Replace this with the actual dataset URL you're trying to use

dataset_url = "https://example.com/path/to/dataset.zip"
download_dataset(dataset_url)

✅ How to Use
Replace the dataset_url with the actual dataset link.

Run the script:

python smart_downloader.py

It will:

Follow redirects

Skip HTML pages

Auto-name the file

Auto-name the file

Warn you if the response is not a valid download
